You notice how many “Faux” examples come from “ethnic’ “shoots”? Dont ONLY or ALWAYS blame the fauxtog, the “subjects” are seeking this, demanding these silly, “ethnic” driven settings, backgrounds and poses.

If a client comes in, asks you for something tasteless, absurd, does not fit in with your style and will generally look terrible, you have the right to refer them to another photographer. The photographer took the photo and displayed it as their own professional work, therefore you do get to blame the “faux”. If someone came to me and asked me to shoot this, I would say no and refer them to a “faux” in my area who doesn’t mind diminishing their reputation to make $20.
